    I’m over pointing fingers and playing holy than thou.

    The people who plan to build a Hungarian-style autocratic government are in power now, and they’re hoping the left is exhausted and tired of fighting this shit for a decade.

    This shit is going to be dangerous, and we’re going to have to motivate people to push back hard than even. Pointing fingers just divides us and makes us even weaker.

      That’s a bummer because progressives couldn’t be bothered to stop an erasure of minorities and lgbt alongside a subjugation of women.

      Quite simply, either you align with them or you can get fucked.

      At least that’s how it’s currently playing out.

          Shortsighted progressives decided that people they dont know halfway around the world were more important than their friends and family.

          Hope you can tell your wife/ girlfriend /sister you had the moral high ground when she’s declared property.

            I like how you immediately use whataboutisms instead of addressing the problem that is the genocide she was actively conducting.

            How about you start with why the genocide is a good thing and harris absolutely must not change her position instead of trying to guilt trip people. oh right… because genocides are actually horrible, and harris could have absolutely changed her position. oh well.

              Nothing says chauvinism like wanting women to keep their autonomy.

              Maybe tell the guy who voted 3rd party/abstained.

                Nothing says chauvinism like saying, “meh, what’s a few hundred thousand lives of brown people on the other side of the world to me.”
